On this review show, Bruce is joined by Mike, Rocki, Chris and Maureen to talk about the list making game of geekery........Geek Out! by Playroom Games. This seems like a game every follower of Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day and the TableTop would want to pick up....but what do we think?

On this review show Bruce is joined by Mike and Rocki, and we talk about The Lakebilly Card Game from Vobius Games. You can find the game on their website at http://www.lakebillycardgame.com/

WARNING: This is a game for people 21 years of age and older. The rules suggest that you drink while playing, which we (and I am sure the game designers and company) suggest you do in moderation. We have rated this explicit, but only because of reference to alcohol and some light language.

On this episode Bruce is joined my Mike, Rocki, Chris and Maureen to talk about the abstract strategy from FoxMind Linja. It is pronounced Lin-ya, this does not stop us from wanting it to rhyme with ninja.

On this episode of The Party Gamecast Reviews, Bruce is joined by Mike, Rocki, Maureen and Chris to talk about the first of 3 abstract strategy games, Kulami. Kulami won the Games Magazine Abstract Strategy Game of the year for 2013. We now let you what we think about it.

On this episode of the The Party Gamecast Reviews (recorded a while ago), Bruce is joined by Rocki, Mike, Chris and Maureen to talk about the fighting/micro game 7 Card Slugfest.

On this episode of the Party Gamecast Reviews Bruce is joined by Mike, Rocki, Chris and Maureen to talk about the family game Fill the Barn by Hoopcat Games. This is a game for 2 to 4 players about growing crops AND (you guessed it) filling the barn.

On this episode of The Party Gamecast Reviews, the Party Game Cast is talking about the Wiggity Bang game Mad Quao, the follow up to their 2007 game Quao. This is a mix of Quao and what we call a "gotcha" game.

It is time once again for the Party Game Cast to talk about the new crop of games being used by Match.com for their new run of Stir Gaming events. This time we have decided to cover the games in small mini-sodes. On this episode Bruce is joined by Rocki, Mike, Maureen and Chris to kick off this 5 show run of discussion by talking about the games that we have previously covered at other times on the show. We are talking about Bananagrams which we literally covered for Match Games on episode #15 the last time we talked about Match Games. The other game is Telestrations, which we covered on episode #2 (which is hard to listen to) and we will cover again on Episode #27, when we try to make up for how bad Episode #2 was recorded.

This is the intro, more to come about the new slate of match.com games.

On this episode Bruce is joined by Rocki, Mike, Mom, Maureen and Chris to talk about the screw your neighbor trick taking card game Little Devils from Stronghold Games. We discuss the game as a whole, and we also talk about how it plays at both of its extremes (3 and 6 players).

On this episode Bruce is joined by Rocki, Mom, Mike and Chris to play the Cryptozoic Entertainment release ROFL created by John Kovalic (the same guy who does the comic strip Dork Tower and the art for Munchkin). This game is a mix of "Name That Tune" and a complete disregard for most of the written language, especially vowels.

You can find the game at your friendly local game store, or at every online game store you can possibly fathom. Here is a link to the official website: http://www.cryptozoic.com/games/rofl

The Party Game Cast World Boardgaming Championships Minisodes

In our final installment of LIVE @ the WBCs we talk to Richard Bliss of the "Funding the Dream" podcast. We discuss the WBCs, podcasting, what you can learn about games, Kickstarter, Spike Lee, the value of passion and all kinds of other stuff.

For this installment we talk to Kevin McCarthy the creator of Bocce Dice about his kickstarter, we also talk about tournaments at the WBCs. Kevin was at the WBCs to promote Bocce Dice, but also to enter the Dominion tournament, so Kevin gives us perspective about the tournament scene at the WBCs.

On this 6th installment of the Party Gamecast LIVE @ the WBCs we talk to Keith Avallone of Plaay.com. Plaay.com makes sports simulation games, which I (Bruce) find facinating. I love knowing this is still a thing, and I know many people have no idea this genre is even our there (including Maureen, as you will hear). This is certainly the kind of cool hidden treasure you will find at the WBCs.

On this the 5th installment of the Party Gamecast LIVE @ the WBCs, we talk to Mark Smith the creator of a game called Blown Away. This is a group game of aerodynamics that is played on an 8 tier game board. Barring a kickstarter, this is the kind of game you might only see at a convention, and is the kind of really cool find you can make if you look at everything at your next convention.

On this the 4th installment of The Party Gamecast LIVE @ the WBCs we interview Andrew Zorowitz of Foam Brain Games, the convention partner for game companies like Asmadi Games and Looney Labs. We talk about the new release from Asmadi Channel A, and also talk about sales, new releases, conventions and games in general.

If you listen until the end, there is a chance to pick up the Foam Brains promo for Fluxx.

On this third installment of The Party Gamecast LIVE @ the WBCs we talk to Joshua Gottesman of Victory Point Games and talk about making an appearance in the east, the company from a class project to now and a little about a few upcoming games. We talk about Rules Lawyer a new party game from Victory Point games, and the second edition of Tenka a new casual game from Victory Point Games.

This is the second installment of our coverage of the WBCs. In this episode we talk to Stephen Buonocore from Stronghold Games. He gives us the inside scoop on Space Cadets: Dice Duel (since we are holding it), Time and Space, Going, Going, Gone! and talks about the history of the WBCs.

Remember episodes will be coming at least once a day, there should be a collection of 8 of these episodes by the end.

This is the first installment of our coverage of the 2013 WBCs. We decided to show up and see what the deal was with the World Boardgaming Championships. You can find more details about them at http://www.boardgamers.org/#wbc. This episode is from the end of the day, and we give our impression about the convention and a preview of some of the interviews to come.

Once again a HUGE thanks to the WBC for letting us set up in their open gaming room and a huge thanks to everyone who came by, talked to us, and allowed us to interview them. We think it makes for some fun and interesting listening.
